Product Description

Try casting 15’ of lead core on the end of your regular Spey line and you’ll quickly find its not up to the job – enter the Airflo Skagit Compact Fly Lines. Skagit lines were originally developed by the Steelhead rats of the Pacific North West to get flies in front of fish regardless of environment. These short high power heads have the ability to make a cast in tight confined spaces, which often means the difference between success and failure. Perfected under the watchful eye of Tom Larimer, you can understand how excited we are about the Skagit Compact.

Tom guides the mighty rivers of Oregon and Washington, so required a series of lines that allowed his clients to quickly get the hang of fishing heavy level sink tips and big articulated flies. As with any line, the shorter the head the more critical the weight. By refining the taper and length of the Skagit Compacts from 23 to 27 feet depending on head weight, we’ve created 15 models from 360 to 810 grains in 30 grain increments that ensure you’ll be able to find the perfect match for your favorite rod. So, just add a running line, a sink tip and your good to go.
